The Stranger Artist: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Stranger Artist" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Winner of the Prime Ministers Literary Award 2021 Non-fiction category, The Stranger Artist is a true story of life, loss and friendship that cuts to the heart of one of Australias most celebrated art movements.
At a hinge-point in his life, artist and ex-gallerist Tony Oliver travelled to the East Kimberley, where he plunged into the crosscurrents and eddies of the Aboriginal art world. He would stay for almost a decade, working alongside a group of senior Gija artists, including acclaimed figures Paddy Bedford and Freddie Timms, to establish Jirrawun Arts, briefly one of the countrys most successful and controversial Aboriginal painting collectives.
The Stranger Artist follows Olivers journey and the deep relationships he formed, an experience that forever altered his lifes trajectory. His story will draw readers close to what he came to know of Kimberley life: the immersion of culture and spirituality in the everyday, the importance of Law, the deep and abiding connection to country, and the humour and tragedy that pervade the Aboriginal world.
Evocative and absorbing in equal measure, The Stranger Artist tells not only of the connections that can be formed through the sharing of mutual interests and experiences, but of what it takes to live between cultures.
